Shoutout to the stock image photographer who put an egg timer on a 5.25" floppy disk to symbolise the looming spectre of obsolescence.

I feel like this has gone largely unnoticed for decades, leaving the photographer questioning his subtle use of metaphor and causing him to lose faith in humanity to appreciate his talent.

Then, long after he’d given up all hope, he sees your post this morning and says to himself finally.
